Summary "This collection integrates aging theory, and media studies through analysis of core issues including the media's influence on the construction of 'old age,' the reciprocal influence of aging on media industries, age-based identities in a mediated world, issues of gender and sexuality in an aging society, and the practical implications of a more integrated approach between the two fields. These chapters explore the intersections between aging and media in the realms of advertising and marketing, television, film, music, celebrity, and social media, among others."--Back cover.
